River Studios

Description

River Studios is an award-winning architectural warehouse conversion in West Melbourne. Managed by Creative Spaces, it is a thriving studio facility for artists and other creatives. The 3,000 square metre building and adjoining warehouse span over three levels and accommodate a broad range of practises including visual arts, sculpture, photography, making and design. Studio spaces range from 14 square metres to 57 square metres.

What's On

Audiences can be taken on a guided tour of the space. Some artists will leave their studio doors open or be present, allowing the public to see inside the normally-private studios of local artists and creatives. Audiences will learn the history of the building and see how it has been repurposed to suit creative uses.
